The Children and Santa Claus.-The
people who would rob children of the pleasure
there is in the belief in Santa Claus, because
those who cling to it feel the keenest dsappoint-
ment when they have learned that no such per-
sonage exists, would prove but sorry leaders in
any movement of importance. At best they but
suggest to us the folly of dining to-day because
we are sure to be hungry again tomorrow, or tue
imbecility in admiring rose which must certainly
wither in time. A general who worked upon this
plan, to be sure, would never allow his army to
snatch an hours rest because the hour was not
twenty -four, and, for that matter, those who a1-
vocate it would, if consistent, revel in the
sunshine because storms are sure to follow. At the
age when children undeceived regarding the
mystery Of this tabled Christmas visitor they are
not without wit if their philosophy be lame, and
they soon adapt themselves to the changed condi-
tions and lend their own aid to the innocent de-
ception of their juniors. Fancy a Christmas
among the little ones, indeed without their blitbe
some conjecture as to what was possible and their
wonder as to what actually came. There other
lessons to be taught them at this season, of course
but they are not necessarily inconsistent with this
old and beautiful custom of making Christmas the
happiest of all times in that feeting season
childhood.

The Belt Annexation Bill-Some Of It's
Provisions.--The committee appointed by
Mayor Latrobe to prepare the bill for annexing
the Belt to the city, and which is to be submitted
to the Legislature, has partially completed its
work. Under this bill the taxes in the Belt are
to remain the same as they are now in Baltimore
county, that is so cents on 500 worth of assessa
BILE property, until the year 1900, and the assess
ments are to remain unchanged except as to new
improvements, which are to be assessed at their
value, and the tax charged upon such improve
ments is to be rs per cent of the city rate. After
1900 the taxes in the Belt and the city proper
to be the same
The line of the extension is to extend out two
miles to the north of the city, to point q short
distance south of Cold Spring Hotel, or about
what formerly known Shaw's Hill, now
known as Arlington avenue. The west line is also
to extend out two miles to the western boundary
of Loudon Park Cemetery. The line, however,
does not continue further south than the junction
Of Gwynn's run with Gwynn's falls, so that the
section of country known as Mt. Winans is not
included. The eastern line extends only . mile,
and reaches to point short distance west Of
Bayview Asylum. It was first intended to extend
the line only one mile west, but as the second
mile is only sparsely settled, it was thought best
to extend the line another mile, which would not
take much more of the population from the county.
From the best data obtainable it is believed by
the committee that the population of the county
will not be reduced as TO bring it under $4,000,
and it is not expected that the representation in
changed by annexation.
The local-option law prevailing at Woodbury.
is fully protected in the bill agreed upon. The
necessary provisions made in the bill for vot-
ing on the question of annexation, which, it is
understood, is to be done by sections.

Luther M. Reynolds, Esq, of Baltimore, was
admitted to the Hartford county bar last week.
He had not been in Belair for many years and
was such stranger that he knew no one and it
was with some difficulty that he could find q
lawyer who would move for his admission but
which service Col. William Young finally rendered.
Mr.. Reynolds is prominent and wealthy citizen
and it is little odd that he should not be acquain
ted in Belair, the seat of the county in which he
is financially interested.

Wisdom From Beecher.


Every farm should have a good
farmer.
The masses against the classes the
world over.
A man who does not love praise is
not a full man.
That cannot be healthy condi-
ton in which few prosper and the
great mass are drudges.
A proud man is seldom a grateful
man, for he never thinks he gets as
much as he deserves.
The greatest event in a hens life
is made up of an egg and cackle.
But eagles never cackle.
One of the original tendencies of
the human mind, fundamental and
universal, is the love of other peo-
Piles private affairs.
This is a good world to sin in, but
so far as men are concerned, it is a
very hard world to repent in. 1t is
a bitter world. 1t is cruel world.
